killamats Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 awesome project mate, an absolutely mint car!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 thanks very much.JAM RACING ECU REVIEWright the jam ecu has been in a few days now. i turned my boost up to 1bar. on standard mani at the minute (bad i know but its only for a short while until the new mani goes on and i only use for short trips)at first i can say i felt no improvement with the ecu on, i was a little disappointed but i knew it would take time for it to settle in and adjust to my set up. every time ive drove the car it has seemed to feel progressively quicker and much more agressive. feels like it pulls better through out the rev range. just got back from dropping my girlfriend off and on the way home i decided to give my car a little blast. lets just say im a happy boy and i feel that once the mani, hybrid and exhaust is on it will be pretty sweet. so all in all im happy with the ecu, ive gotta get it rr to check that the ecu is fueling enough. my car seems much thirstier, its drinking fuel but never mind!only problem that im finding is that the extra power has made my clutch problem much worse. so gotta get that sorted asap.

montanajr Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Nice project. Mani looks good, but also looks like it'll be hard to wrap - not much space! Also, that rocker cover looks siiick! Proper retro; I love it! JAM ECU + 1.1Bar Hybrid should be a lot of fun! Best of luck mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keirz Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 @joe. im looking at the ocr309 clutch and flywheel or the cap clutch. both full clutch kits. just cant decide weather to go for the cheaper or the one thats popular but more expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 two more parts on the way.neither are a clutch though. im so thick as i cant even run full boost untill i get a new clutch but i still keep putting it off and spending my money else where! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pav Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 What can I say mate, I absolutely love this car! I have just bought a Silver Glanza and just cant wait to drive it (its in the bodyshop for 2 weeks for a full respray). ;)Watching this project develop is an inspiration, top job! I feel like a bit of a bastard copycat though, as i have just bought a set of gun-metal grids, admittedly as a result of seeing photos of your car! ;) I was gonna go for some gold ones to be different but a mint second hand set came up for a price I couldnt pass up.About the Jam Ecu, how much did you pay for yours and would you consider it worth every penny you paid for it? I am tempted by one of these over an e-manage as I don't plan on running over 1bar of boost really. From what I gather, its made a fair bit of difference with only a few accompanying mods. What do you think?Cheers and enjoy the car!Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Callan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 woop,keirz when you get your hybrid on there youl love it,spesh the manifold,will really open it up and it will pull real hard,i like your rocke cover,i tried to do the same in a period of 3 minutes and 21 seconds but failed...hahawill have to come see this when its all done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 the hybrid and manis been on a couple of weeks cal, pulls hard and its only at 0.7bar. gotta sort the clutch before i can go to 1.1bar.@pav. cheers mate, its nice to know my works being apreciated. the jam ecu was just under £500. i forget how much exactly! i would say its worth the money at the minute as its a sort term fix to run a 1bar boost saftly. its limitations may show when i turn the boost right up and get a power run as obviously with a mappable ecu it can be adjusted to get the best out of the set up whereas the JAM cant. only time will tell when its on the dyno. but for now it seems to be well worth the money.

Callan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 get the clutch on the blend then and get it up to 1.2 bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Looking good mate, but did you tighten up the engine damper after? It won't be doing much like that you need to screw it in properly using the little knurled metal pin that comes with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 looks good loving the slag engine bay jap plates are awsome also where you get them from ??The Jap Plates are mine, Keirz just stole them for the day.
